| What's the next upgrade step?? I have changed things more than a couple of times and always found that once I have a good arm, cartridge upgrades provide more bang for the buck. Moving from one top grade arm to another may change color, etc, but I could live with a Phantom, SME... | |
| Align cartridge to offset cantilever ? You are aligning the cantilever/stylus. If the cantilever is not perfectly aligned to the body, if it were mine, I'd have it repaired or install a new cartridge. That is an indication of a defective cartridge. | |

| Enjoying vinyl more than ever......... Yes, I think vinyl is wonderful, however, if you hear that much difference, you need a better CD player | |

| An Audiophile Goal BECAUSE ROCK MUSIC IS SUPPOSED TO BE LOUDER THAN string quarters | |

| Lonely piece of marble: where should it go? I have Vandersteen 5A's which were professionally installed and set up. They are on a wood floor with the spikes, however, the spikes are on discs that protect the floor. To clarify "rebrate at a high pitch" above means that anything on the marble... | |

| Lonely piece of marble: where should it go? I agree.. Marble resonates at a high pitch | |
| Koetsu Urushi+SMEV anti skating setting help The Koetsu arm has no anti-skate, because its really a waste of time. It cant be set correctly. It is a dynamic force that increases and decreases with loudness and frequency. VPI too recomends no anti-skate. |
